2-1/2" Thick Red Oak Stair Tread - Signature

Upgrade your staircase with the timeless warmth and proven versatility of real hardwood. The 2.5" Red Oak Stair Tread brings natural character and lasting strength to any staircase — whether you're building new or refreshing an existing set of stairs.

At a refined 2.5" thick, the tread's solid engineered core is clad in a Red Oak hardwood wear layer on all 6 sides, delivering stunning face grain from every angle — never edge grain. A 1/8" roundover on every edge completes the refined, finished look. The 2.5" profile strikes a precise balance between visual weight and restraint — substantial enough to anchor the design, understated enough to let the wood's natural character lead.

Why Red Oak?

Red Oak is the classic American hardwood that has defined residential stair design for generations. Its warm reddish-pink tones and an open, prominent grain complement traditional, transitional, and updated-classic interiors with equal ease. With an open grain structure that is exceptionally receptive to stain, Red Oak delivers consistent, even color across the full surface of every tread — and it is available in the widest range of stain matches of any domestic species, making it the natural choice for coordinating with existing flooring, trim, or millwork. Red Oak's combination of availability, stain flexibility, and approachable warmth has made it a trusted stair species for decades — and for good reason.
